ELI missed Cruz on two other TDs today, one a deep ball one inside the 10. Lets negotiate his contract now, he is bound to get another 1500 yard year 15 tds. He will demand more money at the end of the season!

People seem to forget that Eli has made Cruz and Nicks, Nixon, to the players they are, everytime a receiver leaves for the big bucks you don't hear anything from them any more, Smith, Boss, Manningham. Cruz will get his money, and if hrs decides to stay with the Giants, there will also be championships included with those $'s.

Cruz is the real deal, so don't take that away from him. Eli missed him on two sure TDs, his circus catches also make ELI, its a mutual relationship between the two.

I just hope we don't become like the Arizona Cardinals where so much money goes to one receiver that the rest of the team suck.

JR had to make sure was not a one hit wonder. I'm sure he has something cooking for Cruz as we speak.

I think Reese wanted to make sure Cruz can still deliver. Remember, a lot of folks (not Giants fans) thought he was a one hit wonder at best. Reese should try and work out a deal for him during the season. It might be cheaper.

NO WAY! JR has to sign both to long term deal. No excuses!

No one is talking about keeping everyone. However, Cruz will get paid. PERIOD! He deserves it. He's the most explosive and reliable receiver that I have ever seen wear a Giants uniform. Don't be surprised if the Giants release players like Webster and Canty next season. Even Rolle's salary will be looked at. No need to call people names.

Yes, these so-called superstar salaries need to be looked at. Still shaking my head about OSI-Gate.

Yeah, Giants are gonna need to pony up some serious coin. Cruz is an elite receiver, no doubt.

Cruz is one of the best slot receivers in the league, think he will get a good contract. Nicks has never really been healthy for a whole season, he may want more than he will get...

Eh, how much money did we give Osi?

And you think that amount of money would have gotten a long-term deal done with Cruz? lol . . . ok

giantsfam04

10-22-2012, 08:07 AM

First off what Osi got was more guaranteed money this year and the contract is up after this season. He was due to make 1.5 I think and we doubled that voided the last year of his deal to shut him up. It will have no impact for next year, JR didn't give in to Osi they negotiated and both sides meet in the middle that is what negotiating is. As for choosing Cruz over Nicks, both are important to one another we need to be honest here, what was Cruz's production with Nicks out?

When healthy, Nicks is s great receiver, best hands on the team by far. We'd be nuts to let him walk, unless he demands top top dollar.

Cruz has been something special. Gets open consistently, runs great routes... I'd be quite pleased if JR signs him to an upgraded contract during the season, lock him up!!
